Trading updates from Raspberry Pi, and news flow from Intel and Samsung, remind us that things rarely happen as smoothly or as predictably in real world tech as is hoped – particularly in semiconductors.
Computacenter’s update has confirmed George’s view on hardware sales and serves as another illustration that cash flow matters and should not be taken for granted.
Looking to the US the traditional SaaS stocks are underperforming, dragged down by the question of what AI does to them and, importantly, software pricing. No sign of the market asking these fundamental questions of the UK stocks just yet.
